Displaying Bitmaps In The SDK

I'm trying to learn the SDK and Im experimenting with displaying bitmaps.

I made a skeleton program ( below ) to test out what I understand to be the code necessary to output a bitmap file.

I can't get it to work ( suprise *chuckle* ).  I think my LoadBitmap() function is failing and Im reasonably sure it is the second parameter, but I can't find what I am doing wrong.

Anyway, any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.  The program is below and it is very small

Thanks
Steve
